    In the July/Aug edition of Safeguard magazine we pose three questions based on stories in the magazine. One of them arises from the Legal Roundup section.

    The feedback question is:

    Olivia Lund suggests one way to punish the worst offenders, and to prevent them escaping penalties by resuming operations under a new name, is for WorkSafe to lay charges against business owners as officers. Agree? Why, or why not?

    Feel free to respond here on the Forum, or privately here via a Survey Monkey form.

    An edited selection of responses will be published in the Sept/Oct edition, but with no names attached. One randomly selected person will receive a prize, namely a copy of the book Next Generation Safety Leadership by Clive Lloyd.

    Good point. I think Olivia means SMEs only, ie: the type of small outfit that liquidates itself and then re-emerges trading under a new name, using the same equipment and owner/operator.
